A Ruddy shame they've shafted <br />Kev this way - he's always been <br />a decent man, a nicer bloke you <br />understand in politics is rarity - <br />a precious gift disgracing all the <br />dirty depths these pollies pace <br /> <br />He's plain for sure, of vapid flair <br />inflated by sincerity to where it <br />makes you cringe; it's cruel - he <br />cannot lie convincingly, concede <br />or hide distress about duplicity in <br />lives his nearest colleagues led <br /> <br />With due regret it made him tick <br />I'd guess; his interest isn't power <br />of status misapplied, the game's <br />right of reply he sacrificed for air <br />to breathe that's clear and freed <br />intrigues of other's perfidy <br />© 23 February 2012, I.
